Geocache Description:


Access from the south through the park. Closed at night.

The saw mill, on Marvin road, was built in 1837, the first recorded in Bedford, built for Matthias Hutchinson.   The structure on the M-37, on the west side of the park is the old Grist Mill, built in 1855.   The stage line which ran tri-weekly from Battle Creek to Hastings was started in 1942.  It ran through Bedford, and probably used the grist mill as a stop.   The road was a plank road (called a corduroy road, because the planks looked like a stretch of corduroy) necessary because of the swampy areas it crossed, which were almost impassible in the spring and falls when the water was higher.   Eventually, the plank road was replaced with gravel, and in the late 20s or early 30s construction on the current M-37 was begun.
